Since 1823 the supporters of Clay, Adams, Calhoun and Jackson became convinced that the presidential candidates were to be designated with a more relevant and democratic system, which exceeded the disputed congressional caucus. Throughout the presidential campaign of 1824, the four candidates received the investiture of public meetings of citizens and popular convention. The debate on the appointment system is extended to all regions of the Union and was followed with participation by several local newspapers, who became spokesman for the request was that the people spontaneously organize popular assemblies and conventions for the proposed applications and support candidates. In 1824 a Connecticut newspaper wrote that "applications should be decided by the convention of the people, chosen by the people." An Ohio newspaper urged citizens to organize meetings in the counties, cities and districts, to appoint delegates to send to some central meeting place where they could express their wishes and demands of promoting the community.
